Can’t quite see in your photo but I assume it’s Svig? Generally pretty good and cheap.
Manufacturers will claim that, previous remarks I made were they won’t touch a shoe after a cobbler has (in their view) butchered it.
The particular type of toe-blakey is called a ‘toe tap’ by the way.

Thanks - interesting.
I think it was a pair of Barkers I bought which came with a note which said among other things, that applying a stick on sole would in their view ruin and in some way misshape the shoes and was not recommended. So I did it anyway.
The cobbler local to me in Walthamstow is good. He uses Italian rubber half soles and heels.
